I have tried jumping jacks to get the blood movin’ but that typically causes some stares, peppermints (eating and smelling it’s oil), and a nice cold-pressed juice but those things can get redundant after a while.

When I found out my newest afternoon snack gave a great energy boost, I was given an even greater incentive to enjoy them.

ALMOND BUTTER STUFFED DATES

Cut open the center of the date, removing the seed. I use my hands typically but these guys can get pretty sticky.

With a sandwich knife, fill the center of the date with almond butter as well as the top making it look like the date has been dipped into the almond butter.

Roll or sprinkle your toppings onto the almond butter. This recipe can be used with so many other toppings; almonds, pistachios, shredded coconut, etc.

Enjoy!

100 DAYS IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!!

Quick tangent: I cannot believe I have gone this many days without getting a cold, sinus infection, etc. It’s honestly been “always something” since my freshman year of college!! (2005) This is a great feeling and I truly owe all of it to NUTRITION…food truly can be medicine. It’s proven so for me! I really cannot wait to see my friends and loved ones lives and health improve when they realize what you put in your body affect how you feel.
